In truth, the scene was not bloody. There was only a piece of beast pelt sewn under the Hoof Shadow's abdomen. It had been given a special disguise, and there was nothing wrong with it. However, Happy still managed to cut open the thread and easily remove the extra pelt from the Hoof Shadow. He did not cause any damage to the Hoof Shadow.
A square white beast skin curled up in Happy's hands. It stank a little, but the side that was stuck to the horse's belly was covered in dense lines of words that looked like tadpoles. Little North was stunned when he saw them.
"What, what is this?"
"Phantasm Body Movement Skill."
Happy smiled and turned around to look at Little North.
"Since you performed a meritorious deed, I'll let you choose first. Hoof Shadow or this high-tier lightness skill manual …" When he saw Little North looking at Hoof Shadow without hesitation, he said, "Don't be in a hurry to choose just yet. You might not know the value of this Phantasm Body Movement Skill. Right now, it's even more useful than a steed …"
"Phantasm Body Movement Skill is a top-class lightness skill that all those in Blessed Realm can learn. Not only does it use up a lot of mana, it's fast, and the effects of moving and dodging are also very strong. I heard that it's worth more than two million taels of silver coins, but there's no market for it. Heh heh, I know this."
Little North smiled and said, "All-powerful Medicinal Stone is practicing Phantasm Body Movement Skill right now. I heard that he stole it after he received a quest. I've been jealous of his lightness skill for a long time, but compared to him, I like Hoof Shadow more. Tsk tsk, there aren't many people who ride it now. It's so cool!"
"…"
Since Little North had some understanding of Phantasm Body Movement Skill, he could not say anything about it. However, this person's train of thought was still very young.
Never mind!
He would still have a chance in the future. Phantasm Body Movement Skill might be valuable, and there were even rumors in the future that it could compare to some ultimate lightness skills, but Hoof Shadows appeared everywhere, and they would respawn once in a while, which would cause the martial artists in the world of martial artists to hunt them down. But in the future, he would definitely have a chance to obtain it.
He placed his attention on the Hoof Shadow and began to protect Little North so that he could recruit the Hoof Shadow at ease.
The process was very smooth!
At that moment, the Hoof Shadow was both physically and mentally exhausted. It did not have any will or ability to fight back. Besides, when Little North fought and killed the Five Venoms disciples, he seemed to have won the Hoof Shadow's favor. He managed to pass the test in one go, and the Hoof Shadow was put into his Horse Plate to rest.
"Success! Haha! "
Little North was incredibly excited, but then he stared at the Horse Plate and became gloomy.
"What's going on? We actually need to rest for a week before we can summon it? Damn, doesn't that mean I won't be able to play this week? You can't do anything? "
Happy could not help but laugh in spite of himself and shake his head. 'This brat's luck isn't that bad. Nian didn't get anything valuable from it, and this time, he didn't make his Hoof Shadow go berserk.'
Even though he had Dragon Capture in his hands and was one hundred percent confident that he could capture the Hoof Shadow, the process was very difficult and troublesome. If he could save time and do something else, it would naturally be for the best!
"Alright, big brother Lei is here."
Once the two of them chose the items they wanted, the sound of horse hooves drew closer from the left, and it gradually became clearer. Around ten seconds later, Thunderous Battle charged over with sweat on his forehead. He came from the opposite direction and circled around the periphery of the ancient tomb.
He jumped down from his horse and looked at the corpses of Five Venoms members scattered all over the ground. He was incredibly dumbfounded.
"Why did they fight again?" Why did he say 'again'? Perhaps even he himself did not notice it.
Happy smiled wanly and told Thunderous Battle what had happened just now in full detail. Thunderous Battle instantly scowled and swept his gaze over the corpses on the ground.
He asked solemnly, "Happy, if they really upload the battle replay just now to the official website, it might be a huge blow to your reputation."
Happy understood why Thunderous Battle would say that, because he was a rather upright person. At that moment, it was already very difficult for him to think about the problem from Happy's perspective.
"If it were any other sect, I would naturally have to think about the consequences of my actions, but it's Five Venoms. If they want to cause trouble, then let them."
Happy smiled and explained.
"Since we're in World of Martial Arts, we have to think about the problem from the perspective of World of Martial Arts. At the end of the day, they're just a group of evil people who rely on gathering and controlling poisonous creatures. Even if we upload it to the official website, there will be people who will take the initiative to defend us. Their battle replay can't prove anything.
Happy knew this very well.
Five Venoms had never been a kind sect. There were plenty of times when they did things that could not be brought to light, and the players they offended would definitely be many times more than Happy himself. Unless Five Venoms decided to do good in the future, the matter this time would soon be forgotten by everyone. In fact, it might even turn into positive news.
"Let's hope so."
Thunderous Battle was not at ease, but Happy's attitude made it hard for him to say anything.
The topic soon shifted to Hoof Shadows.
After all, it was a group operation. Even though Thunderous Battle did not directly join in, they still wasted time. Little North and Happy each brought out four hundred thousand taels of silver crumbs as hush money. Under the duo's insistence, Thunderous Battle took it.
There might have been some setbacks in their plan to hunt Hoof Shadows, but they ended it ahead of schedule. Happy did not have any intention to continue staying. He brought Thunderous Battle and Little North to White Tiger Forest, which was near the ancient tomb.
"Hoof Shadows respawn once every three days. I want to stay here for two more times. During this period of time, I'll increase the realm of my Golden Bell Cocoon and Big Dipper Sword in White Tiger Forest so that I can reach Mystical Realm as soon as possible. What about you?"
"I don't want to miss out on Hoof Shadows either. Let's go together."
Thunderous Battle quickly made his stance clear. Little North had nothing to say either. He still wanted to learn more techniques from his boss to become stronger. Even if Happy ran away, he would not run.
"Alright, let's log off in White Tiger Forest first and rest for a while. We'll schedule a time to come up together."
Happy suggested.
Due to the appearance of Lu Mingyue and Nian, they had to run all the way from the peach blossom forest to the ancient tomb in Wuhu. A long time had passed since then, and if they did not log off soon, it would be night time for them to eat supper.
"Okay."
When they got out of the game, the apartment was silent.
Happy took off his helmet and opened his eyes in a slightly drowsy manner. He stretched his arms, and it was only then that he noticed that bright moonlight shone on the apartment's balcony. With the help of the bright moonlight, he saw the three wolves lying on their beds, which was a rare sight. They had thin and soft VR helmets over their heads.
Ever since South China Ranking Board was created, the three players, who had an incredible love for the game, had gone from being game enthusiasts to another level. They could only play the game quietly at night.
Happy quietly got down from the top bunk and poured himself a cup of cold water before he quietly opened the door and walked outside.
In the past, the lights in the boy's apartment would only turn off very late, and it was especially so during the summer. There were quite a number of people who walked around bare-chested, but ever since World of Martial Arts was released, this sort of situation was rarely seen.
This made Happy, who had gone out to search for food, remember a foreign report he had read at some point in time. The title of the report was: Be wary of the invasion of eastern culture! The general gist of it was that the youngsters in western countries were infatuated with a game with eastern wuxia as its background. It caused many eastern wuxia novels to swiftly occupy the sales rankings in the publishing industry.
